Narrator

Jason says it's good luck to kiss the eelpout. I think you both should kiss it, you caught it but you're both here. Well grandma gives kisses all the time, I'm a grandma. And where do you kiss it? Well I usually kiss it right (kiss smacking) on the forehead. Oh I can do that. Yeah easy peasy right? Yeah yeah okay (kiss smacking). Come on. (laughs gently) We kissed it, so now we're indoctrinated. -

Jason

You are part of the family, you're part of the eelpout clan, I'm impressed, I love it. Probably a five and a half, six pound fish. You wanna hold it? come on. You want me to hold it? Why not, don't you wanna hold it? Put it down, you caught it. -

Jason

Get it, just underneath your hands and then she'll move and then you can go up. That thing is slimy. Come on. All right, stand up with your fish, that's it, all right, oh that's nice. All right I think we need a picture. (bright music)
